Awareness Initiatives on Unregulated Ultra-Processed Foods and NCDs

PVCHR has actively worked to raise awareness about the impact of unregulated ultra-processed foods and their association with non-communicable diseases (NCDs). As part of our efforts, we have sent various research findings to medical colleges, including IMS, BHU, and KGMC in Lucknow. Recently, KGMC, Lucknow conducted a study on this important issue, which was subsequently featured in a news article published by the Hindi daily, Hindustan.
